Abstract
Actual E-Learning Systems usually only provide assessments of natural language answers by teachersor tutors and don’t take notice about other assessment types like self assessment or peer assessmentalthough this variants would have a great benefit, not only for teachers but also for students.Students would have the chance to get into the role of the teacher and correct the answers of their colleagues. Furthermore they have to get deeper into the topic to make good corrections and sothey have a higher learning success. Teachers and tutors would have the great advantage to save thetime they would have needed to correct all the answers by themselves and to test a new assessmentmethod in computer science.To implement such an online e-learning system which supports the peer assessment idea, theMiscrosoft .NET framework seems ideal. It supports easy methods for creating web applicationsusing asp.NET and runs fully on UNIX machines using the MONO framework.This paper should give an overview about the implementation process of such an online peerassessment system. This also includes the used technologies, class hierarchies, the data model, themain programming ideas and a manual.
